The above distribution of milk condenseries has undergone con- 

 siderable change since the beginning of the war. In many states 

 new factories have been erected and in numerous instances cream- 

 eries and cheese factories have been converted into condenseries. 

 In the State of Wisconsin alone the number of condenseries has 

 risen from 26 in 1914 to 52 in 1918. 



Other countries in which the condensed milk industry has made 

 rapid progress are : Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, 

 Germany, England, Ireland, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Austria, 

 Russia, Japan and India.
